Subject:	SCOUG-Help: boot problems

Since replacing my hard drive, I have had no more of those trap D errors
(coincidence?) when boooting into OS/2 Warp. Nor have I had some of the
other random disk errors that were popping up (at least not so far).

I am, however, having intermittent boot errors:

Sometimes, during the boot sequence, I will get a trap 0008 error. When I
hit Ctrl-Alt-Numlock-Numlock, the screen goes blank, and when I release
the keys, the trap screen reappears. So I can't save the error message.

Sometimes, at the end of the boot sequence, one or another of my startup
programs (programs in the Startup folder), will give a Sys2070 error
(could not demand load the application's segment). Sometimes it will be
PMFax, sometimes it will be Tcpstart. And once in a rare while I will get
a Sys3186 -- program executed a privileged instruction.

And sometimes the trap 0008 will occur when I am shutting down a program,
like MR/2 or a Seamonkey window.

These errors are intermittent, and as far as I can tell, random. They
don't seem to occur if I boot into eCS. I haven't found a way yet to
reproduce the error. Sometimes it seems that if I am using another
operating system, like Windows or Linux, and I go back to OS/2 Warp, that
the error is more likely to occur. But that is just a hunch.

Does any of this point to something I can troubleshoot?

Thanks,
Sandy
